Linux 5.19-rc5 does not boot on my Kaby Lake Thinkpad.
rc3 and rc4 were still fine, so I guess something between rc4 and rc5
introduced a regression.
Sounds that way.
Unfortunately, there are no errors or warning messages.
It gets stuck quite early on boot, about the time USB is initialized,
so less than 1 second into post-bootloader boot.
It then just sits there doing nothing - SysRq still works though.
There aren't all that many changes in rc5, and your hardware looks
*very* standard (all intel chipset, and a Samsung SM961 SSD).
And with the lack of details, we'll either need a bisect:
I don't have time for a bisect, but I thought I'll let you know about
this issue, and maybe someone already has an idea.
or we'll need more reports..
Some system information below. Root filesystem is f2fs.
Ok, f2fs is certainly unusual, but there are no f2fs changes in rc5.
There's some PM changes for i915 ("drm/i915/dgfx: Disable d3cold at
gfx root port") and a couple of thinkpad-acpi platform driver updates,
so I'm adding a few random people to the cc in case somebody goes
"ahh..."
If a bisect isn't possible for you the kernel command line should be pretty
helpful to isolate which area the problem is introduced.
I'd say start out with "nomodeset" on the kernel command line to prevent
i915 from loading. If that fixes it, hopefully it's a small number of commits
to peel back like the one Linus mentioned.
Good advice!
Using "nomodeset" makes the computer boot again.
Wild guess, I'm not involved at all in any of the following, I just
noticed it and thought it might be worth mentioning:
I heard Fedora rawhide added this patch to solve a boot problem that
sounded similar to yours:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/489982/

Hi Thorsten,
Yep, that sounds just like it!
I do have 'CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB=y' in my laptop's config.
Will try this tomorrow and report back again.
A few config option are mentioned there that seem to have an impact.
Maybe it's worth changing those or trying that patch.
But as I said, I'm not involved, so maybe this is a bad advice.
Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of
reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like
this. If that's the case here, don't hesitate to tell me in a public
reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record straight.
